Welcome to Gaia! ::

The madness on the dance floor fading, the ghost boil gave his friend a parting knuckle bump as he wandered off to take a break. He didn't blame him, had he the need the breath he'd have likely been out of breath as well. Seiji remained relatively unfazed by the physical exertion though, save for the hair that was now falling in his eyes and along his chin. That was mildly annoying, but temporarily dealt with by a hand smoothing back through the lengths of dark hair. Settling back into familiar lines. Not the style he'd come with, but the one he'd worn since his arrival to the school. Sans the sides, of course.

It did remind him though that he had a thief to find and punish. Lips setting in a tight smile, he turned to scan the room, spotting his ghoul... In the arms of another boil. Huh. The momentary flare of jealously the sight brought upon him almost distracted from the rational bit of his brain reminding him that Junko had mentioned Nuk was like a brother to her. It also tried to call him a hypocrite. He pointedly ignored that last comment and made his way across the floor towards his the trio.

"Hey Ash, Nuk." He offered a wave to the both of them before dropping his gaze to the back of Junko's head. "J, what's wrong?" For clearly something had to be for her to be clinging like that. He hadn't noticed it from across the room, but he certainly did now.

Dark eyes jumped up to the other two, looking for some clue to the futakuchi-onna's behavior.

I apologize. Riley patted Calder on the shoulder gently. I am sure that whatever movements you performed were a sight to see. If I had the sight to see them, I would have been impressed.

She heard Jericho's voice, and her face lit up in lieu of a smile. I am! This prom is turning out quite well, and I don't even mind that I can't see any of it. Are you enjoying yourself tonight?

She turned her head, trying to decipher whether the boils were still thrusting, and did a few weak thrusting movements just in case.

Preaching to the choir, but she still needed to warn him that it was bad to be hip thrustin' all over the place.

But the snacks were very appealing, Tomoko picking up one of the cookies that the ghost boil pointed to and sniffing it before taking a bite. Oh, that was really sweet tasting. That was one of those things her mother had warned her against. Too much sugar was bad, but she had to figure out how to balance eating it and appearing to be eating it.

....

She still wasn't sure what any of it meant. Mother was a confusing person.

Tomoko couldn't help but take another sweet off of the table, her tails flicking behind the pair, making a point to stay off the ground to keep from being stepped on. That would have been very painful.

"Junko-chan and I spent a long time making all of these things." Tomoko beamed, looking to Jove. "Do you like cookies a lot, Jove-kun?"

"How about this one?" Roch asked as the music changed and he finished off his plate, wiping his mouth off on the back of his forearm and dropping the empty plate on the table nearest the dance floor before coming back. "And I wanted that roll, you brat," he added with a disgruntled expression that disappeared into a grin.

He figured the stuff Demi had talked about could wait for now.

Did Jericho hear Riley correctly? It actually seemed like the two were being relatively chummy right now. She was even patting the kelpie. What in the name of jack was going on?

Deciding not to question this, he just smiled at his friend and nodded.

"I've been having a blast," he said, "really sorry about the blacklights though.. I didn't think they would have blinded you like this. I wonder if some sunglasses will help at all..."

Like some sort of saving grace, the song had changed. Letting out a breath, Shun stopped as she touched his arm, looking over at the girl. Mitsu looked rather happy and she was giggling too. Though, he wasn't really sure if this could really be considered dancing with her. In his mind, he wasn't really.

"I.. suppose I can," he said with a slightly softened expression, "But... I'm glad you were having fun."

Nodding, he tentatively patted her hand lightly then looked towards the dance floor. At least people had dispersed a bit.

Well, there it was, Tess' decision. His glare down at Lizzy was taken away with a blink, all of the intense emotions fleeing when he reopened them again a moment later when he was looking down at Tess instead. He caught the look she gave him and responded with a smile.

"It won't take long." He promised her, shooting another glare at Lizzy, who was in the process of hugging his date.Soon enough he returned to smiling lightly at Tess - though he still looked a little irritated. He didn't even care that the music had changed!

"I promise." He informed her softly, reached over to take her closest hand, bringing it again to his lips to kiss her knuckles. Was he doing that on purpose? Yes, yes he was. Mac looked mighty unimpressed as Lizzy took hold of him, following after her silently for now; after all, there were still people there, a lot of them.

Once they were outside and alone though, Mac took two quick steps forward and spun to face her. "What was---!" He stopped himself then, biting back everything he wanted to say to her; clearly she wanted to explain, and he was going to try and not run his mouth just yet.
